Lord Drayson: Defence Estates, which handles the disposal of MoD sites, has already been in contact with the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister to ask whether any of the Northern Ireland government departments would be interested in the site. Invest Northern Ireland has expressed an interest in part of the site.
	Defence Estates will also consider whether it is necessary to offer part of the site back to its former owner under the Crichel Down rules. Once discussions with Invest Northern Ireland and on the Crichel Down rules are complete, the site or outstanding parts of the site will be offered for sale on the open market.
